Why Is Everyone So Sensitive About BB?

[Harrison]

I think that post is kinda hypocritical (I hadn't seen too many BB posts recently until this one).

But, anywho, I respect BB for the technical creation aspect. Whether a robots goal is to destroy, as is the case with BB, or to build stacks of boxes (like us this year) - It does take a great deal of time, effort, money, and skill to build the machines.

Personally, I think the object to FIRST is better than the objective of BB (FIRST is to inspire, educate, etc....Where BB is basically just to entertain). But, both are legitimate Robotics competitions, and I respect them each - just for different reasons.
